U.S. Navy Seaman John Wilcox
places a flag in the lawn of a home along Bernard Avenue in St. Henry
this morning as Lisa Uhlenhake looks on. Wilcox’s mother-in-law,
Nancy Herwig, joined 19 other St. Henry True Value employees as they
canvassed the village early this morning to place 1,000 flags in the
front yards of homes. True Value owners, Pat and Larry Balster, spearheaded
the patriotic project to do something special for the community, they
said. Wilcox, 38, of Alabama, returned from the Middle East about two
weeks ago after serving on the USS Ponce.
